The Department of Transportation (DOT) encourages transportation safety training programs. This comprehensive course covers safety regulations, general cargo securement training and their best practices. This course, developed in conjunction with the experts from the Transportation Safety Institute (TSI) of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), outlines the circumstances under which an employer, employee or commercial motor vehicle is subject to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs). The content in this course covers general commodities.
When cargo is transported on the highway, the cargo must be securely placed on or in the vehicle. Loose or falling cargo causes accidents – sometimes severe accidents. Drivers need to make sure their cargo is secure.
At the end of the course, you’ll eventually learn the details on the general cargo securement rules in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs), including the driver’s responsibilities for cargo securement, the components of a cargo securement system, and ways to safely secure cargo.
You’ll also be able to understand the rules and regulations for general cargo securement. Grab a great grasp of knowledge from general awareness training to specific information for shippers and drivers of hazardous materials. Our online courses include the latest security updates to the regulations.
